I'm getting tired of long form investigative true crime podcasts. I've listened to three of them and they were each like ten hours long and they all ended the same way Serial: Did Adnan really kill Haemin? -> Yes, absolutely Someone Must Know Something: This kid vanished near a lake. Authorities think he probably drowned, but could they have missed something? -> no he probably dorwned Atlanta Monster: Is Wayne Williams really responsible for the Atlanta child murders? -> Maybe not all of them, but yeah.

But yeah, I’m not listening to more unless I hear some amazing reviews.

There was a crime here and the authorities in town might be covering it up? Actually, there wasn't, but the guy who reported this lived a crazy life before he suddenly died so let's explore that instead. Besides that though, I've always found the idea of the genre somewhere between ghoulish and pointless. Arrhythmia fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Mar 24, 2018 |

Up and Vanished was good, and notable for the fact that after a bunch of podcasts investigating the mystery someone actually gets arrested for the crime and now it's following the trial. I stopped listening a few eps after the people got arrested though so I can't say how it fares after that.

I stopped listening a few eps after the people got arrested though so I can't say how it fares after that. Also notable because it's highly plausible that the actual killer only got outed because of the focus that the podcast brought back on the case, even if the host didn't technically solve it themselves. That said, I tend to think shortform true crime works much better for podcasts. Casefile being my personal favourite. CottonWolf fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Mar 24, 2018 |

The first episode where he talks about how the Nazis couldn't organize for poo poo is kind of neat (if very Dan), and the Mike Duncan episode is great. And then he did some episode with a general about tech and gently caress even bothering with that.

Hopefully this means less interruptions in the podcast...and less shilling of his book, I was interested in it but man I couldn't bring myself to buy it after hearing how I should preorder it twice an episode.

I just found the way he did it very grating. I'm really not sure why but I couldn't stand it. Robin Pierson had a whole episode to sell me on Anthony kaldelis's book and it was far better done.

I don’t really remember him plugging the book aside from at the start, which you can skip pretty easily. I’ve been listening to History of Rome for the last few months and I’m definitely not listening to the Audible read every time. Side note - it’s hilarious how quickly he got bored of doing that, since within a few months it was “As you OBVIOUSLYknow by now, Audible is...”

I always skip the first 2 minutes of the revolutions podcast and sometimes he's still selling his stuff by that point. But off course, it's his podcast that he makes available for free, so you can't complain.

I miss a lot of Jose that way but oh well. It's especially bad because they commit the cardinal sin of post-theme song housekeeping. Something that Mike almost never does... except this week, ironically.

Rodyle posted:the cardinal sin of post-theme song housekeeping. Hah, I never thought about this but it makes perfect sense; and yeah I know see I've been conditioned to expect that from (better) shows like History of Rome/Revolutions. I'm finding myself listening to less and less history podcasts day-to-day; for example I'm just going to wait for my feed to show revolutions 8.x and then go back through it. But if we are also talking informational podcasts I want to mention The Weeds, Worldly, Lawfare and a new podcast The Horns of the Dilemma. All are informative looks are current events without being sound-byte length listings of headlines and, importantly to me, they're well structured/created to be high content. I'd also like a recommendation for a good conservative podcast. I tried the Ben Shapiro show and, setting aside any question of message, I don't like the radio show format. Can anyone recommend something more structured/pre-planned like the shows I mentioned above? And you don't even necessarily have to agree with the show's message or viewpoint, I'm just looking for something representing (preferably moderate) conservative view point in a structure that isn't 1-2 hours a day improvised.

The Spectator is probably more archetypally conservative, and they have a podcast too.

Jokes aside Ben Shapiro is probably among the least awful of the bunch and he may even be within spitting distance of 'moderate' on somethings, so if you can't even stand him the closest you're going to get to a 'good conservative podcast' is probably something like NPR/PRI's Marketplace or The Economist Radio Most of conservative media is either in homage to the angry radio talk show hosts like Father Coughlin or Rush Limbaugh. Or the modern version of that, weepy youtube pedants like Sargon of Akkad and Jordan Peterson who upload 5 hour long stream of conscious monologues about rootless cosmopolitans, cultural bolshevism, and lobster hierarchies e: Chapo Trap House is unironically a good suggestion because they do reading series from all sorts of conservative pundits. From older established conservative venues like National Review or the Federalist and from new kid conservatives like Ben Shapiro and Jack Posibec who've cultivated their own following through podcasts/twitter/youtube instead of print media 420 Gank Mid fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Up and Vanished has he most egregious ads I’ve heard on a podcast. At least the Dollop throws me up front. This guy blends them into a tragic murder case every few minutes.

Yeah I think I was a bit too kind in that characterisation: sometimes Ben Shapiro's comments are understandable within a rational frame work grounded in reality, and sometimes he's a insane conspiracy theorist. What surprised me most was when I found out he wasn't ranked near the bottom of the pile for my choices, he's among the top, I mean I'd listen to him before I listen to Sargon of Akkad. I listened to maybe three of Ben's recent podcasts and at one point he argued that the black and white reactionaries in Pleasantville were right. He didn't seem aware of any irony or humor in the assertion. I'm downloading cum town now, surely it's at least...self aware. Oh, and to clarify I agreed with his assertion that supposedly neutral news reporting type stories in the guardian have a clear pro gun control bias.
